Do you crate train her? When she comes back inside without going, you need to put her in a small crate and then try again later. Don't let her have freedom except for 30 mins or so after she goes outside. Feed on a schedule so you know when she should have to poop. Is she left home alone all day? Maybe it's separation anxiety - OR she needs to go but no one is there to let her out. Try doggie daycare? And you might want to sign up for some training classes.
Also, walking on a leash helps so you are there to praise her when she goes and you can make sure she goes. It also helps her understand she's out there to pee, not to play. Loki goes straight out on his leash and straight back in, even if there are fun distrations outside. Loki's 100% housetrained, and we STILL leave him in a crate when we are gone longer than like 15 mins. If he rings his bell to go out, and no one lets him out, that's not a good situation. He just sleeps in his crate. |
